A lot of today's software is designed to run on a local desktop and then it 
connect back to a server.

For example:  You can administer active directory from your local desktop and 
not log into the server (though I wouldn't recommend this to a someone who 
doesn't have any clue about security.)

I am not familiar with the product you  mentioned but sometimes running from a 
server is a bad thing.(tm)

I suppose there's no real reason to reboot the server on a scheduled basis... 
THAT server has never had any real issues... As for not running the Console 
remotely, I really don't wish to install it on another machine as it's a bit of 
a resource hog. As far as taskkill, I just don't like killing off a process 
"just because", and that's what that seems like to me.

A - Why are you rebooting the server on a scheduled basis?

B - Why are you not running the Vipre console remotely?

C - What's wrong with Taskkill (assuming you don't wish to address the previous 
two issues)?

I have to manually shut down Vipre Enterprise Console if I want the server

to manually power-cycle the server to get it to work. I checked with Sunbelt
support and they said there is no way to *programmatically* close the
console when I reboot the server (scheduled task, so it's non-interactive.)
They suggested using Microsoft's TaskKill. Anyone got any better
suggestions? Server is Windows 2003R2 standard.
